Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on June 6, 2023, Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between April 21, 2023, through June 5, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company would be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 4, 2023, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

On December 5, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that its staff (the “Staff”) determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until June 3, 2024, to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If at any time during this second 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date in order to timely regain compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by June 3, 2024, the Staff will provide written notification that the common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.

The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other listing criteria of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Company has issued a press release, dated December 6, 2023, announcing the notice received from the Staff. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The information furnished in Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be considered “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such future filings that such information is to be considered “filed” or incorporated by reference therein.

Exhibit 99.1

Presidio Granted Second 180-Day Period by Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with Minimum Bid Price Rule

San Diego, CA – December 6, 2023 - Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (“Presidio” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SQFT; SQFTP; SQFTW), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust (“REIT”), today announced that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day period from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualification Department, through June 3, 2024, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SQFT.”

If at any time until June 3, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated during the additional 180-day grace period, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the common stock will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and June 3, 2024, and intends to consider available options to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the compliance period.

About Presidio Property Trust

Our office, industrial and retail properties are located primarily in Colorado, with properties also located in Maryland, North Dakota, Texas, and Southern California.
